Best scratch cover

17 years ago

Hi everyone I have a mahogany lowboy from the forties and a mahogany chest from the fifties and they have scratches on top and I would like to know a good product to use to minimize them. Thanks for your reply. Volvo

    A second vote for Howards Restore A Finish!

    Have been using RAF for years on pieces that need a little TLC but not full strip/refinish. Be careful if you use the steel wool with it, always go with the grain! Once cleaned up/spruced up I highly recommend a follow up with a good wax once or twice a year (max). It will last. Paste is often recommended but I like RAF's liquid Feed n Wax myself. Lots of antique old timers in my area like Bowling Alley paste wax, I didn't care for it much myself, hard to work with. Don't recommend sprays like Pledge, etc. on any wood furniture, but especially not antiques. A good wax buffed well won't leave a gunky build-up, either. (I apply and then buff with stain pads, mean for applying stain to wood.)
